Show Notes
This week, we’re with the queen of modern Caribbean cooking, Shivi Ramoutar.
It’s 10 years since her debut cookbook, Caribbean Modern: Recipes from the Rum Islands launched this Trinidadian lawyer and supper club host from Leicester to become the Caribbean queen of daytime TV.
The 10th anniversary edition – simply called Recipes from The Rum Islands is just as much about identity and belonging, but as the co-presenter now of Jimmy and Shivi's Farmhouse Breakfast and a regular on This Morning, not to mention a mum of three young wildlings, as she calls them, she’s got a different perspective. Gilly asks her to revisit a time when she first began to dive into her heritage and its food.
Pop over to Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites of Shivi and a recipe from The Rum Islands.
